Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 (nCoV-2019)

With the numbers that cam out in terms of bars and gyms i don't think Toronto should down they numbers are not that high.

We're almost 3 weeks past Thanksgiving, so you'd think the numbers would start to go down again by this point...

I am waiting for it to skyrocket during the holiday season. If I was Ford I would throw things province wide back to Stage 1 until January 10th. Throw us clear of the holidays to avoid any sort of surges from gatherings.

That map is very misleading. Canada only has 1/3 to 1/2 the deaths per capita. For a long time Canada was tracking along at 1/2 the deaths per capita as the US, but given the US leadership throwing in the towel on managing the virus they have started to open a large gap. The reason it is misleading is it shows dots by province in Canada and by county in the US. So Canada has performed better, just not to the extent that map would lead you to believe.
 
Manitoba shatters previous high with record 480 new COVID-19 cases, three deaths Friday

From link.

In a surge never before seen in Manitoba, the province has announced 480 new cases of COVID-19.

A grim prediction made by Dr. Brent Roussin earlier this week has come true – Manitoba has hit more than 5,300 cases, with 480 new cases reported as of Friday morning, along with three new deaths. The five-day test positivity rate in Manitoba has spiked to 8.6 per cent on Friday.

The most recent deaths include a man in his 80s, a woman in her 80s, and a woman in her 90s. These people were all in the Winnipeg area, and their deaths are all linked to the Parkview Place outbreak. The total number of COVID-19-related deaths in Manitoba is now at 65.

Hospitalizations in Manitoba jumped to 104, with 19 people in intensive care. Roussin said these increasing numbers are putting a strain on the health care system.

The new cases announced on Friday include:

  • 42 cases in the Interlake-Eastern health region;
  • 25 cases in the Northern health region;
  • 10 cases in the Prairie Mountain Health region;
  • 94 cases in the Southern Health–Santé Sud health region; and
  • Winnipeg alone saw 309 new cases as of Friday, with 79 people in hospital and 11 in ICU.

There have been 43 deaths reported in the city. The five-day test positivity rate in Winnipeg climbed to 9.7 per cent.

This has prompted Roussin to place the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region into the critical or red level of the pandemic response system, with further restrictions coming into effect this Monday, Nov. 2.

“Now is that time to definitely act – it is not the time to panic,” Roussin said. “Even though these numbers seem daunting right now, we know exactly what we can and need to do, because we’ve done it before.”

The spike in cases on Friday was in part due to a backlog in reporting, with two cases from last Sunday, four cases from Monday, 44 cases from Tuesday, 193 cases from Wednesday, and 237 cases identified as of Thursday.

Since March, Manitoba has seen a total of 5,374 cases.

That's with a population of 1.369 million.
 
Wait, are there two dangerous miscommunications going on fooling people including our own leaders?

1) The regional breakdowns in OUTBREAKS are being used as justification to insinuate that bars and restaurants and gyms are not the sources of infection. The graphs compare OUTBREAKS not cases. Bars and restaurants and gyms could be responsible for hundreds or thousands of community spread cases but not be defined as outbreaks. Meanwhile, daycares are illustrated as substantial sources of outbreak; however, one single case is considered an outbreak in a daycare. Daycares are an insignificant source of cases. This is DANGEROUS misinformation

2) Dr. Tam keeps stating over-and-over that Ontario and Quebec have worrying numbers and constitute 75% of total National numbers. I don't disagree however singling out Ontario is dangerous misinformation. Ontario is tracking a Canadian average number of cases per capita. The higher case load is still largely just a reflection of the size of the population.

Most of the country has some level of hate for Ontario so it plays well when people single them out.
 
I think the goal in Ontario is to stop hospitals from being overrun and it seems we are generally on that path.

The infections in Alberta, Quebec and Manitoba are much worse.
 
Ontario is reporting more than 1,000 new cases of COVID-19 today, the second time in the past week that the province has recorded more than 1,000 infections in a 24-hour period.

Provincial health officials are confirming 1,015 new cases of the virus in Ontario today, up from 896 on Friday.

The seven-day average of new infections in the province is now a record 914, up from 802 last week.

The province also confirmed nine new deaths today, bringing the total number of virus-related fatalities to 3,136.
